We modeled this aircraft as per the Saab documentation. The CoPilot altimeter has a dual Kollsman window. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

First, turn off cars and see if it helps at all. Second, that screenshot is still not of the entire window.. please post the whole thing.

Standard X-Plane axes assignments are much different than what is happening in the Saab. X-Plane assigns functionality to an axis, ie. throttle. In the Saab we need to know which axis your joystick is using (assigned as none) in order to make the condition levers work properly. That index can change between sim sessions, loading aircraft, etc. I'm not saying that it is guaranteed to change, but it's also not guaranteed to be the same. Some people may change hardware between sessions. There are just too many variables to be able to save the index and guarantee that it will be correct the next time around.

You can assign buttons or keys to the frequency selectors.

Oskar, Maybe you misunderstood what I was saying. There is no way that we could provide a better solution. It is impossible to guarantee that the index will be the same when you reload the aircraft or restart the sim. Even if we saved the index it may not be the same the next time around and therefore would not work. This is not something we have any control over. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

As stated earlier, you cannot make those kind of comparisons. The screenshot of your render settings is cut off, please take a screenshot of the entire window.

The movement of the wheel itself is a little hard to see, I agree. However, you can confirm it is working by watching the VS speed display on the EADI (upper right corner).

You could assign a keystroke or joystick button for this. Then you would not need to bring the yoke back into view !

Glad you got it worked out. As to why... who knows, X-Plane gremlins

After you disconnect the A/P, pressing the disco button on the yoke will silence the alarm. Fixes only! No special tricks, it automatically reads the default XP database. The thumbwheel is spring-loaded. So, you need to drag and HOLD it and the VS will increment. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the axes will be the same across every sim session or aircraft load. Therefore, we cannot save these and re-assign when you start the sim. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

That sound is the hydraulic pump cycling as the pressure drops and the pressure switch kicks in. This happens because when you're taxiing the steering is hydraulically actuated. You will also hear the pump cycle over a period of time just sitting on the ramp due to leakage in the system. If we make it too fast you will not be able to make "small" changes in the frequency. You're welcome! I hope you enjoy the aircraft. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

WHOA! Take it easy on those engines or will will burn them up !

Wayne, I have seen the props spinning slowly like this before, usually after you reset to a different airport, or change aircraft. I have never seen them increase in speed. Not sure what that is about. Does this happen every time you load X-Plane with the Saab? Try changing aircraft or airports and see what that does. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

You cannot do comparisons this way. The Saab's 3D model, textures, and systems are far advanced than most other aircraft available. You will not get the same performance with the same render settings. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

Connor, There are many pictures of the Citation in the forums that depict what the panel and gauges will look like. No. The model we are simulating is the very early Citation II.. no trailing link landing gear. The landing gear doors will be whatever they should be for the early Citation II. No.

Was this a fresh start of the sim? Do you have weather turned on ?

Hi Guys, I have looked into this. We have found an issue where the index assignments were being lost during autostart. In addition, I have revised the code to desensitize the assignment process. We will be getting an update out with these changes... not exactly sure when that will be just yet, stay tuned! If you are using Auto-Start, it is important to set your condition levers (joystick) at the "start" position prior to initiating the Auto-Start. This ensures that your joystick axis values match what the code is doing during Auto-Start. This will be critical once we get the update out. Thanks for the feedback. Jim Lead Programmer LES Saab 340A

Please post a screenshot of your render settings.

The product page specifically shows that the Saab is NOT 32 bit.

There is no config file. If you get the "ASSIGNED ID : XX" then the process should have worked fine. You can verify this by going to the axis window and when you move your joystick you can visualize it. Also, make sure that it is assigned to "NONE".

This should work fine... although the steps you listed are a little out of order. After your step 4, you should proceed to assign the left condition lever and then do the right. One at a time as follows ... Assign the left Condition Lever first, and then the right Condition Lever. You should get an Assignment ID of the left Condition Lever BEFORE you go on to assigning the right Condition Lever. Be VERY CAREFUL not to move any other axes while doing the assignment... they are very sensitive. Let us know how you make out.

This complaint does not really belong in this thread. ALL 64bit aircraft (of which there are many) will not work with XSquawkBox. If you want XSquawkbox for 64bit then complain to Laminar.

How about you tell us what your poor little system specs are and then maybe then we can help ?

Thanks for the report on this. I will look into it and let you know. Jim EDIT: I have found the bug and corrected it. We will make a hot fix available for this, but I don't know the exact timing of when we will get it out. Stay tuned.
